I didn't notice the flex until using my tenoning jig that rides the
fence. I don't bother clamping the stock in place as it takes too
much time when you have a lot of parts to cut, so you have to put some
significant force to keep it from riding up during the cut. But I
wasn't getting consistent cutting depths and that's when I tested out
pushing down on the insert and could see the sucker flex. If all I
ever did was cut sheet goods I'd never notice and it wouldn't be an
issue.


Interesting. I admit - I was thinking sheet goods or flat stock cuts. Had
not considered tennon jigs. But I'm bound and determined to save face from
my obvious lack of thought, and lay it back on you by telling you that you
screwed up by not locking in your stock...

Still - without having tested this configuration, I still find myself
surprised that even your tennoning work created any noticable flex. Just
shows to go ya - ya come across something different every day.
